The Experience
MBG’s educational meetings give members essential knowledge of various business topics as well as how these areas of business are relevant to members’ chosen fields or interests. Additionally, MBG provides useful tools for members new to the world of business or who are unsure of their specific interests.
Within MBG, members have the option to join a specialized subcommittee in order to continue building their skills and explore their interests in a more focused, hands-on setting. These subcommittees work on a semester-long project, such as client work or investment fund management of MBG’s $20K+ fund.
Each member is offered the opportunity to be paired with a mentor who will be able to give them individualized support and advice throughout the term. Mentors help members with understanding business concepts, critiquing resumes, finding internships and much more. Mentors also help members with any academic questions they may have.
Education
Education meetings cover the areas of consulting, marketing, finance, and accounting. We break down these areas into career functions and the knowledge and skills necessary to begin a successful journey in each area. We also offer professional development workshops and personalized feedback for resumes, internship interviews, and Excel. Education meetings also include market updates, interactive activities, guest speaker events, and competitions.
